Peachysteve and I took the high path through Dodge Royd and followed the deer tracks back down again.

Fascinating to see the Silverleaf fruiting bodies for the first time. I've often seen cherry and plum trees affected and dying from it. The leaves go silvery all over the tree and then it dies. It's supposed to be attracted to wounds in autumn/winter, so the standard advice to gardeners is to only prune these trees that suffer from it in July.
